Resi 5 producer hints at Wii Resi News
Wii Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Johnny Minkley
With work now wrapped up on the PS3 and 360 instalment, Resident Evil 5 producer Masachika Kawata has told us he wants to make a brand new Resi game for Wii.
Thanks to the magic of translation, Kawata-san hinted to Eurogamer TV that Nintendo fans shouldn't despair that their console isn't powerful enough to handle the high-def horror of number five.
"Personally I would like to create something on Wii in the Resident Evil family," he revealed. "At the moment we don't know and have just been working on RE5, so watch this space."
So far, Wii has received a port of last-gen masterpiece Resident Evil 4, plus The Umbrella Chronicles, an on-rails shooter. A brand new, proper Resi game for Wii would be a massive boost for the console. And might even help Ellie forget about Golden Balls.
You can check out the full interview with Kawata-san over on Eurogamer TV.

"So far, Wii has received a port of last-gen masterpiece Resident Evil 4"
A masterpiece port you guys reviewed poorly, I might add. The Wii version of RE4 is the best version, and the controls are fine. Furthermore, while team-slayer bumboys play RE5 and its game killing co-op mode, guys like me will be sticking with RE4 since it is clearly still the best Resident Evil experience available at the moment. |

Stealth Resi 5 Wii confirmation.
Or, I think it will be an all-new episode, probably with less action and more emphasis on mini-games and managing some sort of pet sidekick. Or Umbrella Chronicles 2. |

I genuinely didnt like the controls in resi 4... dunno why..
Strange because most other games with the wii pointer work really well for me. But wasnt resi 4 reviewed by the same guy on here that keeps slipping in"well its on the wii so of course the graphics are terrible" into every one of his reviews? |

Got RE4 on day of release in New York, it was one of the reasons I owned a GameCube. Then bought it again on Wii; which is a brilliant version. Looking forward to RE5, but a potential Wii version makes we consider postponing launch day purchase. |

RE4 Wii Edition is still the best game on the Wii in my book. Even if Capcom had got the run and action buttons the right way around on RE5 the Wii controls of RE4 would still be way better.
I wouldn't mind an RE4 style remake of Code Veronica on the Wii, but a whole new game would also be welcome (as long as it's not another on-rails shooter). |

So not interested in seeing this franchise continue on Wii. Can we not have something new and not retreads from other consoles?

I finished Dead Space this week on my PC, and loved it.
Technically I think EA did very well with the graphics engine, it worked smoothly at 2560x1600 with plenty of effects (good shadows), and the sound was fantastic. Story was great, I especially liked the last few chapters. Production values were excellent, and the GUI integrated into the suit was very good too. Game play was amusing, I loved cutting limbs off baddies, and the way you could only carry four of the weapons. Personally I prefer the to-and-fro over the same map area, opening up different routes, as it feels a bit less linear single-path. I agree that the 7/10 was undeserved, and it's a shame the game didn't sell many more than 1m . I've recommended it to several friends who've subsequently bought it, and thoroughly enjoyed it too. |

Confirmed: Wii owners don't want another RE, because they're content with a GC game with a fairy wand controller. So, Capcom, please don't bother creating anything more for the Wii, stick to bringing out games on the 'proper' consoles, KTHNXBYE.
And to you Wii owners, yeah RE4 was great but you're living in the past, just like your hardware, lulz. Wiilol. |

I bought RE4 Wii this weekend because it was cheap and I needed something to play while I was at my parents and I can confirm that it's an absolute dream. It bought back all the great memories I had of the Gamecube version and the control system is perfect. It's a prime example of what can be done with the Wii controls if developers put their mind to it.
